(2/28/15) Texans LB Brian Cushing has had three surgeries since the end of the season.

In a public appearance on Saturday, Cushing told the Houston Chronicle'sJohn McClain that he's had surgery on his broken right wrist as well as arthroscopic procedures on his left knee and left ankle.

"It’s not uncommon for stuff like that to happen," he said of the two arthroscopic surgeries. "It’s just little things here and there, the residual effects of two major surgeries and injuries, the wear and tear of playing throughout the season. There were still some things bothering me a little bit. Just went in there and had real good success in both areas."

Cushing has a cast on his wrist. “It’s coming along real well,” he said. “I’m going to start working out a little bit. From a pain standpoint, there’s really nothing going on there. I’m real happy about that. I’m real happy to get the cast off and start doing some physical therapy on it, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore."
